Chemical damage occurs when incompatible fluids degrade an elastomer, leading to swelling, softening, or cracking. Selecting resistant materials like FKM, FFKM, or PTFE prevents seal failure in harsh chemical environments.

Chemical Damage in O-Rings

Permeation occurs when gas or liquid molecules diffuse through an elastomer, potentially leading to pressure loss or contamination. Selecting low-permeation O-rings and gaskets made from materials like FKM, FFKM, or PTFE minimizes leakage and ensures long-term sealing performance in vacuum, fuel, and chemical systems.
